Bridesmaid dress help

I have searched and searched and searched and cant seem to find anything!!

I have 2 bridesmaids on tall size 14 and one small size 8-10 (who is maybe getting a boobjob) so basicly I need sizes 14 & 10 or bigger so they can be taken in

I like dark purple but I am fussy so it needs to be the right purple....no shorter than knee length

Also bridesmaids are paying for the dresses themselves and one has a budget of £50 max

Please can anyone offer help

  • i have used a seller on ebay. she makes bridesmaid dresses for £39.99. She is from the Birmingham Area. She allows you to visit her house and be custom measured and try on the sample dresses.

    Is birmingham within your travelling distance?

    But she also makes them to sell on ebay and post them to you if you send her your measurements. Also Will make the dresses in any colour too.

    Prices are going to be doubled from april as she is opening a shop in birmingham town centre.

    Let me know and ill forward you her details

    I dont think that purple is the right shade :(
    I have mailed the lady on Ebay asking if she does a cadbury purple waiting for a reply also on her page I noticed a website but has some Chinese writing do you think she orders in from china??

  • The lady is Chinese. She offered us all drinks when we arrived. Very friendly. Only a very small deposit required too. She measured myself and all my bridesmaid. We asked for a lace up back to the dresses instead of zip. Which is possible too.

    i have ordered 5 bridesmaid dresses, (3 being made now) other 2 dresses are for small children and she advised to have them done 2 months before the wedding because of the children growing.

    a pink veil (which i gave her a photo off)
    Pink lace bolera jacket. Custom made from photo

    The order will be ready in 3 weeks.

    She measured me and is in contact with any questions i have.

    When dresses are ready we are going to collect and try them on. but she can post them too. I live in birmingham so its easy for me to collect.
